Running with NetBSD 0.8 with some hacks to the serial driver to
allow bidirectional ports (cgd patch).  Dial in system with uucp
connection to 'the net', several downstream uucp connections for
both news and mail, and local ethernet to several other BSD
systems.

386/40, 8mb memory, Adaptec 1542b, 1.2gig drive, Trident 512k vga.

Apps: elm, inn, trn, microemacs, and various BSDish utilities.

This beats my old record set with QNX4.1 that was a little more than
6 months before I took the system down to convert to 386BSD 0.1.
